John Oliver Forgave $15 Million of Medical Debt on TV

As part of a segment on how seedy the debt buying industry is, John Oliver set up a debt buying company for about $50 online. He used the new company, called C.A.R.P., to buy $15 million of medical debt for the price of about $60,000.

Forgiving this debt is the largest one-time giveaway on television. Even outranking Oprah.
